Munitions of War Act 1915

The Munitions of War Act 1915 was a law enacted during World War I to ensure a steady supply of weapons, ammunition, and related materials for the war effort. It granted the government authority to control factories and industries involved in producing military supplies, including taking over factories, regulating wages, and managing labor. The aim was to prevent strikes and ensure essential production was prioritized for the war. This law centralised control over munitions manufacturing, helping the UK efficiently support its military needs during the conflict.
